Results: A total of 62 cases of OSCC were reviewed. Male female ratio is 1:1.6. Age of the patients was from 26 years to 75 years with average age 53 years. Average duration of complaint reported by the patients before diagnosis was 3 months. Site distribution showed 35% cases in gingivobuccal sulcus and 24% cases in buccal mucosa. 75% ulcers were exophytic variant. 87% of patients had the habit of betel quid chewing and 4% patients had the habit of both betel quid chewing and smoking. Positive family history was found in 4% cases. Poor oral hygiene was seen in 80% patients. Trismus was found in 33% cases. Assessment of nutritional status showed that 75% of the affected individuals were malnourished.
